the same thing can be done by using CR digital cassettes, instead of analog film cassettes, and stitching them digitally in osirix.

the resultant full length X-ray can be used for deformity planning etc.

1. make a stand like we have in MAH (refer to http://www.jocr.co.in/wp/2011/11/19/technical-note-jocr-oct-dec-2011/)
2. stack three digital cassettes on that stand
2a. keep two k wires 10 mm on either side such that they are half on the upper and half on the lower cassette.
2b. expose in a single shoot, with X-ray centred on knee
3. get two or three dicom images depending on how many cassettes were used. .
4. stitch the images in osirix (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLrDGupi2MY)
5. adjust the images such that the two k wires are perfectly aligned in between the two images, and keep a gap between the two images such that the length of the K wire is 10 mm.

About OrthoTV

Technology has grown rapidly and medical field has harnessed this technological advancement
specially to spread knowledge and ad to academics. Ortho TV is one such project that completely
relies on technology and ‘Academic Philanthropy’. We believe every speaker in a conference or
every author of a paper wishes to share his knowledge with his peers. A lot of hard work and effort
goes into preparing these talks and papers but the impact of it quite limited as only delegates of the
conference get to benefit from the effort. Ortho TV aims to provide a platform where videos of
conferences and talks can be made available to all orthopaedic surgeons across the globe completely
free of cost. The hard work and effort of the speakers can reach an international community of
orthopaedic surgeons who can benefit. Also this will create a record for posterity both for the
speaker and for the conference and its organisers.
